Morals, values and Ethics

the region, rulers (dynasty), and in accordance
with development of knowledge in science
and technology and with time.
Morals, values and Ethics

practices of morals such as:
(a) What ought or ought not to be done in a
given situation?
(b) What is right or wrong about the handling of
a situation? And
(c) What is good or bad about the people,
policies, and ideals involved?

about right and wrong, should and shouldn't,

less important, which is useful when we have to
trade off meeting one value over another.
• beliefs of a person or social group in which they
have an emotional investment (either for or against
something); "he has very conservatives values“.
“Values are the scales we use to weigh our choices
for our actions, whether to move towards or away
from something.”
